[Curse Return] How can a sorcerer not be crazy?

After making preparations to closely follow Yuji Itadori, she followed his daily movements like a stalker.

Fortunately, it is approaching summer, which is the season when curses are most prevalent.

Since the second-year students already had a year's worth of foundation in spell learning, they were overwhelmed by the various tasks of exorcising cursed spirits assigned by the higher-ups in the general office - she didn't need to worry about that.

Except for Itadori, the other first-year students, Megumi Fushiguro and Nobara Kugisaki, were enrolled in school due to family connections and had experience in exorcising cursed spirits since childhood. Naturally, they could not escape the fate of being "conscripted".

As a result, even the students are often not in the technical college, and the teachers of cultural courses are also on vacation.

Even Kusakabe Atsuya, who had always appeared in her sight intentionally or unintentionally, had disappeared in recent days for some reason.

She had already extracted from the other party all the information she knew about the Xinyinliu sect, so there was no need for her to get close to him anymore.

Everything seems to be going in a good direction, but if nothing unexpected happens, something unexpected will happen.

Huailiang feels like he's had some Mercury retrograde lately.

It's not simply a matter of 'luck', but a 'man-made disaster'.

Perhaps because he and Geto Suguru had secretly "divided the spoils", Gojo Satoru actually had more free time.

This also means that as a first-year class teacher, she has reason to provide services such as catering in the technical college.

Therefore, the time the other person spent in her sight increased.

Even because the students and other teachers were not there, he was alone most of the time.

The news of Tianyuan's disappearance spread more and more widely.

After the General Directorate sent more people to search in vain, they stiffened their necks and stated that Lord Tianyuan had gone to meditate and the barrier was fine, thus temporarily calming the turmoil.

However, it is unknown what the various external forces are thinking in private and what measures they will take.

"Aren't you interested in the story I'm telling, Liang-chan?"

Gojo Satoru held his chin with one hand and stirred the bowl with a spoon in the other.

The bowl of watermelon shaved ice, which originally looked very good, was stabbed into a mess.

Huailiang warned: "Don't waste food."

"I just crushed the ice into smaller pieces so it can be eaten with watermelon."

Gojo Satoru blinked his eyes. The black eye mask that had been tied in front of his eyes was taken off by him at some point.

"Then let me tell you something more interesting. The mother of Hisahito's friend died."

"what?"

Huailiang was of course aware of Yoshino Junpei's existence, but he still pretended to be surprised, "Did a non-magician encounter a cursed spirit? Is Hisahito okay now?"

Just the day before yesterday, she was hiding in the shadows, watching how Yuji Itadori followed Junpei Yoshino and how he used his "mouth cannon" skills to make the other party let down his guard.

I even met Yoshino Junpei's mother who was returning home from shopping.

It wasn't a big deal to be invited by the mother and son to have dinner at their home.

But I didn't expect that within the next day, Yoshino Junpei's mother died at the mouth of a cursed spirit... Wait, could it be that the sutures did something intentional?

But what is his purpose?

"Youjin probably just found out, but he has only known that friend for a short time."

Gojo Satoru scooped a mouthful of sweet smoothie and put it into his mouth, revealing a comfortable look, "Someone deliberately placed a two-faced Sukuna's finger in the home of the boy named Yoshino Junpei—"

"When he returned home, he saw his mother's body, which had been eaten to pieces."

The case has been solved. It was the suture that did it.

Ryomen Sukuna's fingers are not something that you can find everywhere. Once they appear, they will attract all kinds of curses to gather together. The final winner will be swallowed and become a new special-grade curse spirit.

"Oh, how pitiful."

"When you say 'pitiable', at least don't let the amusement show in your eyes?"

Gojo Satoru put down the spoon and looked at Huailiang with his pale blue eyes, "Liang-chan seems to be interested in Ryomen Sukuna's fingers?"

Huai Liang did not try to hide it, nor did he mind the other party's "accusation". He nodded and said, "With my limited ability, I can't help much even if I'm at the scene. I can only express my sympathy verbally..."

"As for interest, it's better to say 'interest'. You know, someone like me who is so ordinary that I can't even be called a 'spellcaster' has never seen a 'special grade spell'."

At this point, she paused for a moment, as if she was organizing her words: "So isn't it normal to be interested in what you call Sukuna's fingers?"

"That's true, but why don't you ask Liangjiang if I have any?"

"what?"

Huai Liang was unable to understand what the other party meant for a moment, and a hint of confusion appeared on his face.

Gojo Satoru leaned forward, closing the distance between them, "I mean, if Ryou-chan wants to see it, I can show it to you."

Even though there was a dining table between them, the strong scent of masculine hormones coming towards her enveloped her tightly like air.

Huai Liang pursed his lips. If he refused now, it would seem like he was being deliberately coy. It would be better to -

"Okay."

She raised the corners of her mouth, revealing the only genuine smile of this round, "Since Gojo-sensei has said so, I will be disrespectful to refuse."

Gojo Satoru raised his eyebrows with interest. The other party's reaction was beyond his expectations, but he always knew how to

'Turning bad into good': "Don't you ask why?"

There was a faint smile at the corner of his lips, his words seemed to be questioning, but his expression seemed to be seducing.

"If I had known that this would please Liang-chan, I would have done it a long time ago. If it can make Liang-chan like it even more... I can collect more fingers and give them all to you."

After hearing this, Huai Liang simply thought that the other party was just talking nonsense.

She would only believe this unless the stitches gave her a pig's brain.

As expected, Gojo Satoru still suspected her.

It is not difficult to guess when you think about it this way, who made her broken physique that attracts cursed spirits so similar to the effect of special-grade cursed objects?

There are not many employees in Tokyo Polytechnic High School, and she is the only newly recruited dormitory manager this year.

Other personnel who specialize in maintaining on-campus facilities, such as electricity, plumbing, or new personnel at the beverage machines, will not be stationed on campus permanently.

So, it is normal to be suspicious of her.

However, no matter how much he said... he had no evidence.

"Gojo-sensei, you are joking. How can you just give away something this important as a gift?"

Huai Liang seemed to not understand the other party's ambiguous hint, and ripples appeared in his silver-gray eyes. "It's useless for me to bring two Sukuna's fingers——"

"If you have it, Gojo-sensei, please put it away carefully."

“Don’t lose it accidentally.
